Agenda
9:00am - 9:30am | Check-in
9:00am - 11:00am | Career Fair
Visit with leaders across all industries. This is your time to learn about everything from the career you’re interested in from a woman who is actually in that field to discovering careers you never knew about or considered. Here are some of the careers and industries that will be there:
- Marketing
- Tech
- Government
- Business
- And so much more!
9:50am - 11:15am | Workshops
- My Story – How we speak about ourselves helps colleges and employers really understand our strengths. What is your story? How do you market yourself?
- Translating school skills to your resume – If you had any passion projects, volunteer hours, or even extracurricular responsibilities outside of your classes/GPA, this breakout session will show you ways to effectively translate your diligence into glowing opportunities/abilities on your resume!
- Making Connections – Internships and job shadows are not only a great way to see if you really would like the career but also a way to get your foot in the door to being hired. But how do you find the right one for you? How do you set yourself up to getting selected?
11:20am - 12:20pm | Panel Discussion
Our panelists will be sharing their journeys from how they started just like you to where they are now. Learn their insights and strategies for success no matter what field you enter.

Testimonials
“I really appreciated this experience because it helped me feel more comfortable with not knowing what I want to do. It also gave me lots of exposure to interesting career options that I didn’t even know existed. “
~ Alexa (student attendee)
“From this experience, I was able to learn more about how to network and be comfortable doing it. I was also able to understand the ins and outs of different careers, many of which I had no prior knowledge about.”
~ Anaya (Student Attendee)
